Stressed brain cells can survive longer by slowing sugar use, revealing a short-term protective response that later turns ...
An axon is the part of a neuron that sends a signal to other cells. Axons extend from the cell body to contact other cells, generally forming synapses between the two cells. These axons can be very ...
Neurons are specialized cells of the nervous system that communicate using electrical signals, which propagate down long, wire-like projections called axons. The conduction of these signals requires ...
UK scientists say research on fruit flies could shed light on how Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases develop, offering fresh clues into genetic mutations and nerve damage.
